Buy Greenspeed Anura Delta Trikes in Sacramento and Bay Area

The Greenspeed Anura is designed to be easy to ride. Rather than having a low seat like most tadpole trikes(2 wheels front, and 1 rear), and some deltas (1 wheel front, and two rear) the Anura seat is set at the same height as a kitchen chair, at 17 to 18” above the ground, plus there is no cross member or front axle in front of the seat, so mounting and dismounting is much easier. The higher seat also gives more confidence in traffic, yet having the seat closer to the paired wheels than the single wheel gives more stability than expected.

Unlike other delta trikes, Greenspeed Anura has a differential as standard equipment, which gives balanced two wheel drive. And with 75{1603412a7d9e235bc2262b7f3ef07f27b0f0da4c7a911810d5b09776c009474c} of the weight on the driving wheels V 33{1603412a7d9e235bc2262b7f3ef07f27b0f0da4c7a911810d5b09776c009474c} for a tadpole trike, Greenspeed Anura has far superior traction on loose or slippery surfaces, like gravel, mud, or snow. The three wheel disc brakes provide more powerful braking than most trikes, and steering is light, positive, and accurate with a small turning circle. To reduce weight the Greenspeed Anura frame is made from 7005 aluminium alloy, and the rectangular main tube allows the length of the frame to be varied by 10 inches to suit the leg length of rider, while keeping the front frame in perfect alignment. 16” wheels are standard on the Greenspeed Anura because they result in a lighter and more compact trike, than could be built with 20” wheels. Furthermore with the special Scorcher tyres they roll easier and give a better ride than most 20” wheels! However for a still higher seat and more ground clearance, 20” rear wheels are now available, and later in 2013 there will be a 20” front wheel option.

Another feature of Greenspeed Anura is the square section rear axle brace tube, which has been designed as an integral towbar, and has a 12 mm boss which can be used for towing trailers, or for accepting the TandemCoupling. This Tandem Coupling enables the Anura to be converted to a tandem, triplet or even a train of Anuras, by removing the front wheel of the stoker’s Anura, and fixing the forks to the coupling. This has meant that a number of people with serious health issues, who thought they would never, ever be able to cycle again, are now riding again with their loved ones! In fact the easy mounting of the Anura and its adaptability has seen riders with serious illnesses, like for example MS, make miraculous improvements to their life through regular exercise in riding the Anura.

Unlike the GT, the seat on Greenspeed Anura is adjustable for angle, and to cope with the more upright seating position favoured by many delta trike riders, the base of the seat has 3” of foam rubber to make a really plush seat, with some measure of suspension. And unlike many bikes with aluminium frames, there is fair amount to vertical flex built into the frame.

Thus the combination of the special Scorcher tyres, the seat and frame, you can be sure of a smooth ride. Further Anura features are the narrow width to provide easy negotiation of bollards, gates and even standard house doorways, plus the vertical parking facility, so that it will take up very little space when parked.

The RL Anura has the standard “27 speed” derailleur gear system, comprising of a 9 speed rear cassette and derailleur, plus a triple crankset. This gives a gear range of 14 gears from 18 to 80 inches. This setup uses a mid-cage rear derailleur, giving 2” of ground clearance with the standard 16” wheels.

Greenspeed IGH Anura

The IGH Anura takes the internal gearing one step further. As well as discarding the front derailleur, we now discard the rear derailleur and use a much cleaner method of changing gear than pushing the chain from one sprocket to another. IGH means Internally Geared Hub, whereby the gears are inside the hub instead of being exposed to road muck on the outside of the wheel. Almost any IGH can be used in the Anura, from a 3 speed Sturmey Archer to the 14 speed Rolhoff hub with a 500{1603412a7d9e235bc2262b7f3ef07f27b0f0da4c7a911810d5b09776c009474c} range. However our standard set-up uses the Nu-Vinci continuously variable hub, the N360, plus the Sclumpf Speed Drive. This hub is an incredibly quiet and smooth hub with NO steps or clunks in changing gear as there are no gears inside the hub! It is continuously variable between the ratios of 1:0.5 to 1:1.8 (360{1603412a7d9e235bc2262b7f3ef07f27b0f0da4c7a911810d5b09776c009474c}) and with the Schlumpf, this range is increased to 594{1603412a7d9e235bc2262b7f3ef07f27b0f0da4c7a911810d5b09776c009474c}, or from 14 to 86 inches. Like the Schumpf, the ratio can be changed while stationary as well as under power. The complete absence of a rear derailleur or tensioner means not only less maintenance, but a more than doubling of the standard ground clearance of the SL from 3” to 6.5” with the standard wheels.

Greenspeed SL Anura

The SL Anura has the Schumpf Speed Drive instead of the triple crankset. This is a two speed bottom bracket which does away with the front derailleur and derailleur post, making the front of the trike a lot cleaner and easier to mount. There is less overlap of gears with 18 possible gear combinations giving a range from 21 to 87 inches with 13 individual gears. This system only needs a short cage rear derailleur, giving 3” of ground clearance with the standard wheels. Another advantage of this system is that the Schumpf can be changed while stationary, so that if you have had to stop suddenly without time to wind down the derailleur gears, you can just hit the Schumpf button, and it will drop the equivalent of 4 derailleur gears to enable an easy take off from rest.

Greenspeed Anura Quad

The Anura Quad is a quadricycle rather than a tricycle. While the narrowness of the Anura is very handy for getting through tight places, some people wanted more stability. So how to make it more stable while still retaining the narrow width and the high seat? Answer – add a wheel! The problem with adding a wheel to a tadpole trike is that on uneven ground one of the rear wheels will leave the ground, so if there is only one wheel drive, or two wheel drive with a differential, you will suddenly have no traction! And if you use two clutches, turning will be compromised. However with the Anura, thanks to the superior weight distribution, both drive wheels stay firmly on the ground, if a front wheel lifts, the other wheel seamlessly takes over the steering duties of both front wheels. After all, at this point it is just becoming a trike again! The Quad is achieved by changing the trike front frame for a Quad front frame, so it can be retro fitted to an existing Anura trike, and one could even have a trike or quad just by changing the front ends. Standard gearing on Quad is the 9 speed 11-28 cassette. However this could be upgraded with an 11/34 cassette or a Schumpf Drive.
